How To Thrive After 65
by Andrew Lawrence
This is not your typical retirement book
How To Thrive After 65 is not a typical 500-page book about retirement that tells you how much money you’ll need for your retirement or how to invest your money for retirement. This book does not list the best destinations for senior travel or the best supplemental medical plans or the best retirement diets. This is not that kind of a book. Yes, the author could have written a 500-page book about retirement but, today, few people want to read through 500 pages of anything!
This is an easy to read, easy to understand book ... packed with valuable secrets and information.
This is a short little very valuable book.
A short little very valuable book that reveals how to be more than just alive at 65, a short little very valuable book that reveals how to not just survive retirement but how to THRIVE in retirement. This is a short little very valuable book that reveals the big and little secrets of how to have a HAPPY retirement.
Topics in the book include ...
adjusting to retirement
your money
your health
what to do all day
life expectancy
70 is the new 50
the 10 cheapest states to live
the 10 most expensive states to live
why older adults are the happiest
amazing oldsters and why they're amazing
funny tombstones and famous last words
12 secrets of a happy retirement
and much much more!
 | "Retirement should be very relaxing, very productive and very enjoyable. Is yours?" - Andrew Lawrence author of the book How To Thrive After 65 |
How old is old?
I am retired, not too old but old enough to collect social security. The other day I was online and took a test that determines your "real" age, based on health, habits and family history. The test results said my "real" age, biologically, was 84.5. I had to laugh. According to the test I am functionally deceased! Look at my picture above. Do I look 84.5 to you? I can assure you that I am nowhere near 84.5 and, when I took the test, I was very much alive and kicking! I don't know about you but some days I don't feel old and decrepit. And some days I do feel old and decrepit. So what? The object of retirement is not old age, the object of retirement is to survive ... and thrive!
You're never too young or too old to be happy!

Chapter 7 Hobbies and interests
Every retired person needs to have a good hobby or an interest. At least 1 hobby or interest that they can be involved in. There are all kinds of hobbies a person can choose to be involved in; there are classic hobbies, off-beat hobbies and, today, you can even invent your own hobby.
When choosing a hobby or interest, choose something that you’re passionate about, or at least very interested in. Some retirees love to play golf, some love to garden, some love to collect things, some people love to volunteer.
There’s a million things you can take up as a hobby or an interest …
travel
golf
gardening
cards
dancing
painting
singing
playing a musical instrument
poetry
arts & crafts
reading
photography
camping
boating
fishing
start a business
start a website
blogging
model cars, airplanes, trains, etc
carpentry
going to school
volunteering
and many, many more hobbies and interests
One of the best things about having a retirement hobby or interest is that it doesn’t have to be a new career (unless you want it to be).
Having an enjoyable interesting hobby is a good reason to get out of bed in the morning.
Without a good reason to get out of bed in the morning, without something to live for, a person might wither and die.
If you don’t have a good hobby, start one.
Start a hobby you can really enjoy.
Start today.
And don’t tell me you have no interests! Everyone has something they are really interested in or passionate about, whether it’s dogs or dinosaurs or dolls.
Things that are not hobbies …
There are many activities that are considered hobbies and many activities that are not considered hobbies.
Ice cream is not a hobby
Chocolate is not a hobby
Cakes and pies are not hobbies (unless you bake them to sell or give away)
Potato chips are not a hobby
French fries are not a hobby
Napping is not a hobby
Going to the doctor is not a hobby (unless you’re a hypochondriac)
Discussing medical ailments with friends (your ailments or theirs) is not a hobby
Washing the car is not a hobby
Walking the dog is not a hobby
Cleaning out the garage or basement is not a hobby
Plastic surgery is not a hobby
Find a real hobby. And do it.
Chapter 9 Be grateful
It’s important to be grateful. It’s important to be grateful for what you have.
What are you grateful for?
___ health
___ family
___ friends
___ love
___ nothing
Be grateful for what you have instead of dwelling on what you don’t have. Find 5 things in your life that are good and list them below (yes, if you try hard enough you’ll find them)

When I was growing up my father, who was self-employed, had a plain little office in the basement of our house where he did his paperwork. In an alcove in the unfinished basement the office had cement walls, no door, an old wooden desk, a creaky chair, a metal lamp, a phone and a couple of gray steel filing cabinets. On the wall of the ill-furnished plain little office in the basement my father had hung 1 decoration; a large plaque which read …
I complained I had no shoes
until I met a man who had no feet
Sometimes we forget how good we have it. And how bad someone else may have it. The moral is: do not whine or complain about what you don’t have and be grateful for what you do have.
Chapter 14 Life is short
Life is short and then you die.
In life there are things left undone. In life there are things we wanted to do but never did. Dreams we dreamed but never lived. It’s not too late. It’s not too late to do some of things you always wanted to do. And now is the time to do them. If you think you’re too old, or think that the things you always wanted to do are now age inappropriate or too foolish or too youthful, think again.
It’s a new world, a new age, where old is not old and where dreams can still come true … no matter what your age.
This is not your parents’ retirement!
Today, depending on your physical and financial capabilities, there are no limits as to what you can do. Today, ex-presidents go skydiving on their 85th birthday. Today, 70-year-old men and women go to college or finish high school or play tournament tennis or varsity football.
I had a neighbor, Lou, who, until he was 96 years old, went dancing 3 nights a week. He was not a good dancer but he loved to dance. He loved the loud live band. He loved to dance to disco music. He loved to dance with young girls (young to him was any woman under 45). Lou enjoyed people. People enjoyed Lou. Lou laughed a lot. Lou did not sweat the small stuff, he let the unimportant and the petty go by, because he was too busy. He was too busy having fun and enjoying life. Lou loved everybody. Everybody loved Lou. Lou didn’t have a lot of money but he had a lot of fun and he enjoyed his life. For 96 years.
Here are examples of other oldsters who have done amazing things …

Bernie Marks (78-year-old): Oldest Man to have a Bar Mitzvah
It took Holocaust survivor Bernie Marks 65 years to realize his father's and grandfathers' dreams, but he finally honored them - and Jews worldwide - by having a bar mitzvah, the Jewish ceremony that marks the symbolic passage to manhood - at age 78.
Remarkable? Yes. Can you do something that you always wanted to do? Yes. Are you too old? No.
Before it’s too late, before it’s too late and you are dead, do something amazing; do some things you always wanted to do.
